The Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice originated in 1981 when the Ljubljana Railway Directorate established a Museum Section to manage the collection of old steam locomotives stored at Parmova street and also acquired new premises for a depository, workshop and exhibition area.

The Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice is divided into two sections: a collection of vehicles (steam locomotives, coaches, wagons and other historic rolling stock) and a permanent exhibition relating to various fields of railway history and technology. Thematic temporary exhibitions are held on the upper floor. In addition Railway Museum also offers rides with museums trains.


Museum's development

Collection started to emerge already in sixties in a boiler building on the same address. In 1991 the institution was renamed the Railway Museum of Slovenske železnice, focused on the old roundhouse building with its permanent exhibition of 10 steam locomotives, out of 60 they posses. In 1999 the roundhouse was renovated, and in 2004 a new exhibition building was opened to public nearby, presenting the development of the railway network, the construction and maintenance of railway lines, the development of the railway network, railway uniforms, the traffic control centre, communications, and signalling and safety installations. Railway Museum has still status of intern technological collection of Slovenian Railways company. Future plans envisage the Railway Museum being incorporated into a major National Museum of Transportation (including both rail and road vehicles) which will be implemented under the guidance of the Technical Museum of Slovenia.

Temporary exhibitions

The museum's permanent collection is enriched by thematic documentary and artistic exhibitions that deal with railway history or motifs. Recently the exhibition of old postcards depicting the famous Borovnica railway viaduct (ruined in the WWII) was prepared in collaboration with the Borovnica Historical Society.
